Priority route network segments for new cycle infrastructure according to the CRUSE Tool

A classification of priority routes

Route network segments in County Limerick have been assigned to four categories, based on whether their cycling potential is above or below the County level mean, and whether the cycle friendliness is above or below the midpoint value of 50.

Map of priority routes

Figure 2 shows the priority levels for routes in County Limerick, using the classification system described above. The line width is proportional to the ranking variable: \[\frac{\sqrt(cycling\ potential)} {\sqrt(cycle\ friendliness)}\]

Table of priority segments

The interactive table below shows the top 50 uniquely named route segments in Limerick according to the ranking variable described above. See the Data downloads page to download the full dataset at the segment level to explore the results in software such a R/RStudio and QGIS.

Note: multiple segments may be identified within the same named road, where there are differences in the cycling potential (when rounded to the nearest 100) or the cycle friendliness (when rounded to the nearest 10).
